About Me

attachment:IconsPage/PicIRC.png My name is Joey Stanford and I'm an [http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newmember Ubuntero]. I made the switch to using only Ubuntu in my personal life in 2004. I have been using GNU/Linux since the mid-1990s.

attachment:IconsPage/IconHandshake.png I am a [http://openoffice.org OpenOffice.org] project lead and founder of the l10n and Native Lang [http://eo.openoffice.org Esperanto Teams]. http://eo.openoffice.org/ooo_get_legal_eo.png I also work with other F/OSS projects.

attachment:IconsPage/IconFavourites.png I'm very passionate about the Free/Open Source software movements and am a strong believer in using such software as the foundation of all computing. ([wiki:MarkShuttleworth Mark] said this best: We’re committed to reinventing everything we need until the free software stack is a genuinely complete computing universe.) I am also a big advocate (and part-time activist) for GNU/Linux on the desktop and as such am a strong supporter of my favourite distribution, Ubuntu.

My Ubuntu
